How it works
- 1
Everyone fakes an expansion
A famous acronym appears — like "What does SCUBA actually stand for?". Each player secretly writes an expansion that sounds just official enough.
- 2
Spot the real one
All the fakes are shuffled together with the true expansion. Can you tell Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus from your friends' inventions?
- 3
Score for truth and trickery
Earn 1000 points for spotting the real expansion, plus 500 for every friend who believes your fake. The reveal shows exactly who fooled whom.
Why it's fun
🧠 Sounding right beats being right
You don't need to know that LASER means Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation — you just need a fake that sounds more official than the truth.
🎭 The reveal is the best part
Every round ends by exposing who fell for whose fake — with the real expansion and the surprisingly good story behind it.
